    A Ukrainian restaurant without solyanka. The salo I got was rotten. Some was salo, some was rotten ham. What the hell is salo pate? Do not order this. This is a worse version of the Polish smalec. The kiev cottlet is minimalist-two tiny raps. This restaurant was good 5 years. It definetly needs an uplift and new managment. Too expensive.

    I really wanted to visit your place because, not gonna lie, your reviews are impressive. But I was really upset to see the restaurant representing my native cuisine has something like “kiev” in their menu. Check the spelling in Ukrainian, please, because it’s a huge disappointment, thanks.

    Very great ukrainian food and nice service. A really can recommend to go there. Only recommendation for the owners would be: Take care more often about the toilet, the paper bin was completely full. And the music was a bit loud and did not fit the style of the restaurant. Both things do not at all disturb the good food. Really worth a visit.

    Ordered the steak with pepper sauce. Was more then well-done and very chewy. All though I guess the borsch and dumplings should be better, after all it's a Ukrainian resturant.

    First of all borscht here is a "seasonal dish" which is stupid. Also if you present yourself as a Ukrainian restaurant what is "shchi" doing on the menu? If you present yourself as a Ukrainian restaurant why there's no menu in Ukrainian language? It's a great dining spot if you want to witness russian perception of "funny Ukrainians" or how we call it Sharovarshchyna. Food is mediocre.

    Enjoyed the local food. Too bad they were out of the duck dumplings, but the meat ones and the saurkraut soup were both good.

  • 3/5 Ausra K. 5 months ago on Google • 89 reviews
    Great service. Big selection of food, but the food itself was not great. Meat in potato pancakes was either spoiled or severely undercooked. My friend’s plain potato pancakes were all right. At least it was quite cheap for Vilnius.

  • 5/5 Anton K. 7 months ago on Google • 43 reviews
    A beautiful Ukrainian restaurant. They have such a lot of Ukrainian national cuisine which they cook very tasty. I really liked this place, it's designed following Ukrainian ornaments and style. Moreover, waitors are wearing Ukrainian dresses as well. Really good and tasty place for average price.

  • 2/5 leonard s. 2 years ago on Google
    If you want a cafe-style meal then this is the place for you. MTV, borch and very friendly service. If you want an evening out in a pukka restaurant forget it.

  • 4/5 #NerdAlert Mia L. 2 years ago on Google
    1 ⭐ for clean areas incl. WC 2 ⭐ for English speaking waiter 3 ⭐ for menu variation and English/LT option 4 ⭐ for food quality -1 star for very gloomy dark interior design and lightning. We felt more depressed but sitting in such dark surroundings, then cosy or anything. The dark lighting also takes away any real change of seeing the supposed traditional interior design. We were there at 11:30am so a more positive feel with bright lighting would have made it better.

  • 5/5 Nikhil N. 3 years ago on Google
    A MUST visit in Vilnius. I was craving some Borsch and stumbled upon this quaint restaurant by chance - and I'm glad I did! Their ambience is excellent. Their food is even better. I had the Borsch which is served with amazing garlic butter bread. I also tried the chicken Kiev, which is delicious. Very affordable and great service, too. Would love to visit again!

  • 1/5 Vytautas L. 2 years ago on Google
    Worst service ever! I am not a fan of borsch in general, but was convinced to try by a group of friends. Unfortunately, the bartender showed a full disrespect to us who did not find any non alco wheat beer in the menu, and while planning to order full menu for 4 people, disqualified us from the the place. I get it, the place had the loss of single non alco beer, but being so sensitive, the place lost a client for long.

    About year ago (2020) it was really tasty authentic food place. But not any more… we’re so disappointed now. There is no more borsc like it’s used to be.

  • 3/5 Indre K. 1 year ago on Google
    We had dumplings with meat, sadly they were overdone and dough was falling of the filling. However I would like notice that the meat inside was delicious and high quality.

  • 1/5 Vladislav G. 1 year ago on Google
    Used to be a great place with moderate prices and delicious food. Now food is nothing like Ukrainian, moreover it doesn’t even taste good. Borsch tasted like there’s something spoiled in it. Varenyki have nearly no filling, literally bowl of dough for 8€. Very much disappointed, it used to be one of my favorite places with Ukrainian cuisine in Vilnius.

  • 4/5 Rytis �. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious Ukrainian food. Fantastic borscht, lard with black bread and typical horilka (strong alcohol) shot. Worth a try. Service a bit inexperienced, a bit lost, but nevertheless attentive. Atmosphere mediocre with tv on a wall and MTV music channel. A reminder of glorious 90s. Visit this place for a food, not for a mood.

  • 1/5 Vykintas 1 year ago on Google
    Met some people who said "we should go to Borsch to support Ukrainians". Sadly, the restaurant does not declare their support for Ukraine, nor condemn Russian actions.

  • 3/5 Vira K. 1 year ago on Google
    Dear owners of the restaurant „Борщ» and dear foreigners visiting it, I‘m Ukrainian who visited this restaurant and I‘m here to enlighten you: Shchi soup, Pelmeni and Olivier salad are not traditional Ukrainian cuisine! These are russian (soviet union) dishes. Remember this one and forever: We are different cultures and the fact that this Lithuanian restaurant combines our cuisine is nonsense and disrespect. If you make a restaurant in Ukrainian style and name it after Ukrainian main dish (Borsch), then at least do it properly and respectfully without misinformation. I understand that the restaurant was created many years ago but you created a Ukrainian-style restaurant and not Soviet Union restaurant! Especially when the war started, they could have removed NON-Ukrainian dishes from the menu. Second of all, the menu has russian translation but no Ukrainian, which is just shocking in a Ukrainian(!!) restaurant. About the food: Borsch and varenyky were tasty, though! The Kyiv cake was stale and not representative of a real Ukrainian Kyiv cake. I ask owners of the restaurant to learn a bit more about the Ukrainian cuisine before opening a restaurant and claiming it Ukrainian. Thank you! Hope you make some changes.

  • 5/5 Kate V. 8 months ago on Google
    It's very tasty, very tasty indeed. Take a big portion of borscht - you won't regret it. The lovely atmosphere, the interesting authentic decor, and the paintings on the walls made us as happy as the food. I want to go back and try everything we couldn't eat the first time. I recommend

  • 5/5 Gyte G. 8 months ago on Google
    Very tasty ukrainian food. Portions ate huge, but unlike many places with large portions, quality and taste are wonderful. Borsch itself is absolutely a must, but variety of dumplings or homemade sausages with pickles are fantastic too!

  • 4/5 Dimi T. 7 months ago on Google
    The personnel is friendly, the service is nice, the waiting time is acceptable, the prices are reasonable, but the food is just nothing special. As Ukrainians we felt it was too "generic" and oriented on broader circle of visitors, which is OK, but nothing extraordinary. Chicken Kyiv was good, Borsch somewhat too sour, Dumplings with cherry - good enough, until my tooth met with cherry pit, Mors (cranberry drink) was very good. Overall good enough to taste Ukrainian cuisine, but don't have big expectation.

  • 2/5 L 2 years ago on Google
    Ordered in twice from them. First time I bought borsch for myself and another person. I thought it was bit expensive, but it tasted great and we both loved it. The second time I bought a beef steak and it took the place of 2nd worst stake I have ever eaten. By the way, that is without taking the not so humble 18 euro price into account. The meat was seasoned well, but that's about the only good thing I can say about the dish. The steak was stiff like an old tire. The sauce that comes for the meat had an overwhelming taste of whiskey. It was supposed to be a pepper sauce, but it tasted like warm whiskey. I don't mind whiskey as a drink, but not warm whiskey as meat sauce. I found egg shells in my dish, which weird consider there was no eggs in my dish. Potatoes (baked) also had a very distant flavor of old fat (the kind that has been sitting for too long). I don't know if it was 1 time mistake, but I am not taking my chances.

😐 The staff was not friendly and seemed very unprofessional. I had to wait for at least 20 minutes before I placed my order, and the restaurant was not busy at all. Had to draw attention to myself to finally place an order. The food was mediocre, not worth the money. It was not served as described...
